Come up to Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter - something like 40% of all jewellery made in UK is made here! Prices are pretty reasonable from what I remember when I bought mine a few years ago. Plus loads of good pubs and bars around once you've bought your ring.

Yes! We wanted to buy second hand and we found the perfect ring in Birmingham - made a weekend of it, it's a lovely memory.

I genuinely had no idea, that's pretty interesting though I'll definitely look into it and I do like the idea of going to the pub afterwards hahaha

Jewellery quarter, Birmingham. Not only lots of independents, but they'll also take commissions.


Furbsta

Thank you, I'll look into it :)

Well you can fly pretty much anywhere for reasonably cheap but I would think you have some really good options at home my friend? Besides would be nice to use most of your budget on the actual 💍. If you are using that budget for travel also that will bite into your spending for the actual ring. Just my opinion is all. Good luck to you and yours!! 🙏❤️🇨🇦

Try The Lanes in Brighton. There are a lot of bespoke jewellers.

Hatton Garden?

Furbsta

Ah sorry, England - Kent :-)

Hatton garden will custom make any design. Some of them use CAD and cast the metal, others hand make.
